Congratulations to our Special Collections Librarian Heather Perez on the publication of Chicken Bone Beach, co-authored with Henrietta Shelton (pictured left) and Ronald J. Stephens. Part of the well-known Images of America series, this book features a foreword by Heather and almost 200 photos telling the history of the previously segregated beach in Atlantic City. Employed by the Atlantic City Free Public Library before joining Bjork Library as the Special Collections Librarian, Heather is an Atlantic City historian and an asset to the Stockton community as she manages our Special Collections and University Archives. Visit Heather in Special Collections to learn more about our unique local history.
